Black Menu – Access all the google services under one roof in Chrome !

The one menu to access all your preferred google services with a single click. Welcome to the Black menu, this is a Google chrome extension and it unifies all the Google services under one roof such as Google docs, Gmail, Google +, Youtube etc….
